6 months in has issues but still works for me.
Over all for the price its a fair deal to me. Lasting 6 months so far its been wort it. ($39.46 USD with tax)Issues is sometimes when it turns on its not in the same mode as it was last (without loss of power in-between uses) BUT it has NOT lost any Bluetooth settings ever. Because of this I have to press buttons to get back to the mode it was last. Sometimes it didn’t power on when it was on when it was shut down (by key/ign) last BUT turns on when I press the button.The Bluetooth is very reliable with my budget Android phones 2024 and newer. Nobody I have talked to over Bluetooth/cell has ever complained about audio quality.Bonus was it had the same plugs and wiring as the Blaupunkt that only lasted a few months so it was an easy install, literally plugNplay.
Perfect fit! –

Holds Bluetooth connection hostage, chops Bluetooth audio, “Dancing LEDs” an insult.
Once paired, there is no way to disconnect from Bluetooth other than to un-pair from your phone. Okay, so I put a mini-toggle on-off switch next to the radio to turn off the ACC wire simulating turning off the ignition key. That is so I can quickly connect with my headset if I get an incoming call or need to make a call. Lucky I have a van with lots of dash space for a switch. Back to the problem, once paired, the Bluetooth connects any time the unit is powered up. Thus phone calls and other Bluetooth audio that I want to go through my phone speaker or headset is automatically diverted to the radio without my ability to control it. On a normal Bluetooth device like earbuds you simply turn it off. There should be a Bluetooth on/off button but there is not. I called BOSS customer service and they confirmed the lack of functionality.Second, the Bluetooth chops the first words when listening to say a language course. When there is no audio for example between spoken sentences the beginning word of the next sentence is chopped off. My headsets and other audio devices like my JBL Flip 5 do not have this problem. This triggered my return of the product. The Bluetooth works okay for general audio as most radio programming is constant noise and for song such as from YouTube you don’t notice the initial chop.There is what looks like a graphic audio spectrum display that BOSS calls “Dancing LEDs”. Guess why. Its because they all dance up and down in unison. There is no frequency band information, just a cosmetic garbage display. Its an insult to intelligence, and a driving distraction. There is no way to disable the dumb display of “Dancing LEDs”.There is no good way to adjust the display illumination except through the menu. The dash illumination level wire in the vehicle wiring harness is ignored. Too bright at night and can’t see it during the day.Audio quality is probably “okay” although note that BOSS specs omit the distortion (THD) specification altogether. I guess FM these days sounds like crap. Bluetooth from my phone sounded “okay” though raspy as did the Auxiliary input. Power output seems good.I presume this is all due to CCP garbage engineering of the chip-set and I bet all low-end radios like this one suffer all the same flaws using the same chip set. Its pretty lame. I’m returning mine and going to look for something better.Because it hijacks the Bluetooth connection, I would not recommend this radio unless you don’t mind the work-around ACC switch and all the other flaws. And don’t let the amazing number of reviews fool you, most people probably have not run into the flaws mentioned.The price is good. I bought mine for $29 and now Amazon has it for $23 if I purchase in the next three hours. Its not worth it unless you are okay with the flaws. Mine is getting returned.

Finally got one that slipped passed QA
I’ve purchased multiple models of Boss’s receivers over the years, most have had a 2 to 3 year life span in my vehicle, longer for the ones I’ve used in my garage setup and even made a stereo box that hangs on the side of my rolling toolbox for work.This latest 616UAB I purchased in December was finally one that slipped past QA checks, while driving to work it started randomly turning on/off the mute as well acting as if other buttons were being pushed and the physical buttons on the front panel wouldn’t respond. While the IR remote would still get commands through, it wasn’t as simple as just turning it off to avoid the annoyance of choppy, randomly muted music, had to change the input to the 3.5mm aux and turn the volume to zero as it would turn itself back on if powered off.What makes things more annoying than just getting a unit that quickly failed is the fact that January 31st was the last day to return/replace it, which wasn’t really an option since I was at work.
